Russian to Albanian speech translation API

Stream Russian (Русский) speech and get Albanian (Shqip) back in real time. One WebSocket, ISO codes ru to sq, and ultra-low latency for voice agents and live apps.

Trusted by

Production-ready Russian to Albanian translation API

Real Russian speech includes accents, regional dialects, code switching, and domain-specific vocabulary. Soniox recognizes it in a single model and streams Albanian while the speaker is still talking.

Russian (Indo-European > Slavic > East Slavic) and Albanian (Indo-European > Albanian) come from different language families, so word order and morphology differ. Soniox reorders meaning in-stream instead of word by word.

Russian is written in Cyrillic and Albanian in Latin, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Albanian text.

Russian and Albanian through a single stream

Russian to Albanian translation is built on top of Soniox Speech-to-Text API. Every spoken word is transcribed, and Albanian translation streams mid-sentence in the same labeled token stream.

Turn it on by adding a translation block with source_language: "ru" and target_language: "sq". It runs on the same WebSocket and the same model, with no extra round trip.
